The girl gently raised her hand, and her blonde hair was caught in her grasp as she moved.

His expression was filled with a sense of desolation.

"Although I'm no longer under control, I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to do."

In other words, they couldn't find a reason to live.

Whether it's a human or any other living being, everyone has reasons and goals to strive for. However, Arcueid no longer knows what he should be doing.

She didn't care about team battles or anything like that. If that demon hadn't forcibly controlled her mind, she wouldn't have listened to his orders at all.

She is currently in this aimless situation.

They couldn't even find a reason to fight for it.

"I don't care about all that."

"...?"

"Who cares what you want to do or what you want to achieve? That's not important, is it?"

The person standing in front of her, who could be considered her enemy, spoke up.

He continued speaking as he pleased.

"If an enemy appears in front of me, I have to defeat them. It's that simple. As for other things? Who cares? As long as I know there's an enemy in front of me, I have to defeat them no matter what, isn't that enough?"

"you…"

"I don't care what choice you make."

Accelerator casually waved his hand, looking at Arcueid with an indifferent expression.

"If you don't want to fight, then stay away, but ultimately, it's all your own life."

The monster with the same scarlet eyes as her stared indifferently.

"Do you want to fight me, or do you want to get out of the way?"

"This is all your own life, and you are the one to make the choices."

In any case, Accelerator will not change what he wants to do, regardless of which one it is.

"…really."

So, after a long while...

When the girl opened her eyes again, they were golden.

"As expected, I still have to fight you."

Bang——! !

A powerful aura exploded from her side in an instant, and in the windless castle, a strong, invisible wind surged around Arcueid.

"That suits me perfectly..."

This was entirely within Accord's expectations.

And so, the simplest thing happened.

The true progenitor of vampires, the strongest esper in Academy City.

Two beings, both belonging to the realm of monsters, clashed head-on.

Chapter 155 The Battle with the True Ancestor

There's no need for any further thoughts.

Now, all that's needed between the two of them is a simple battle.

Thump—!

With two solid sounds, the two shadows collided instantly.

Both were incredibly powerful, but the outcome was quickly decided.

A shadow was sent flying backwards first.

That's Arcueid.

'What…?'

Although this attack was not a major problem for her as a True Ancestor, she couldn't understand what had happened.

It rushed straight towards Accelerator, and then, inexplicably, flew away.

To be precise, it should be said that it was directly blasted away by a strong and powerful reaction force.

Her body spun around in mid-air, and she forcibly grabbed the wall with both hands to stop herself from the near-bullet-like speed.

Meanwhile, another attack has been launched.

Accelerator raised his hand, and the surrounding atmosphere began to change with his movement, forming four tangible gusts of wind.

The wind speed was 785 kilometers per hour.

A terrifying tornado capable of uprooting skyscrapers with a single strike.

Arcueid showed no fear in the face of such power.

Thud! She thrust her legs up with a powerful kick, shaking the entire floor.

Those were legs surrounded by a crimson aura of blood.

As Arcueid leaped into the air, her legs flashed instantly, and two straight, blood-red blades of energy pierced through the four tornadoes in one go.

"Is it magic? No, it's not."

Accelerator couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

That didn't seem to be a typical physical attack, nor did it resemble magic. What kind of strange move was it?

But whatever it is, he doesn't need to care about the threat at all.

Bang! A simple and clear sound effect came from his whole body.

The moment the two blood-red blades attempted to approach Accelerator's body, some unknown force directly reversed their direction, causing them to return the way they came.

Arcueid maneuvered his body swiftly to the right to dodge the attack. Two blood-red blades, with the power to tear through even the main armor of a tank, shot straight backward and pierced through the castle wall.

'As expected, that's how it is.'

"Yes, a reflection...?"

"Um--?"

"It keeps reflecting my attacks back the same way... could it be an ability to reflect all attacks?"

You actually noticed that?

This guy is interesting.

Accelerator didn't say much, he just stared at Arcueid indifferently.

"You don't actually think I can only react passively, do you?"

"That's true, so..."

In that instant, a certain power erupted directly from Arcueid's body.

Accelerator could sense that the world around him had undergone tremendous changes.

First, there's the castle itself; the entire floor has been transformed into a blood-red space, looking like a sea of ​​blood.

Bloodstained corpses were everywhere.

But this did not affect his facial expression.

Crack! The ground shattered under his foot. Whether it was a sea of ​​blood or somewhere else, what he did wouldn't change anything.

He smashed a small hole in the blood-stained floor, sending pebbles flying. Accelerator then kicked one of the pebbles hard with his right foot.

The direction of energy was changed, and the pebble was launched at more than three times the speed of sound.

But Arcueid didn't put up much resistance; she simply watched the pebble fly towards her.

Then, in just a moment...

Boom! Countless chains burst forth from both sides of the ground.

Arcueid was not afraid of any of this and charged straight up.

In just a moment, the barrier of sound was breached.

Amidst an unimaginable hurricane, a white shadow, with dynamic vision absolutely beyond human comprehension, instantly appeared before him.

"Get it!"

Thump—! Her fist came straight down.

Accelerator raised an eyebrow slightly, letting the opponent throw punches at him, knowing that the result would always be just a reflex.

But there's something different.

shhhhh--

Countless chains came from all sides, covering us directly.

Those chains were not ordinary chains.

*Snap.* Accelerator clearly felt that even though his reflexes had indeed destroyed the chains, they were instantly recreated and wrapped around his body again.

To be honest, entanglement is impossible; it can only be considered as getting close to one side of the reflective membrane.

Even so, it was enough for the girl to do other things.

Buzz—!! Golden pupils stared straight at the direction of the first person.

An incredible flow shot out from her eyes and flew into Accelerator's eyes.

The charming magic eye.

That is the ability to manipulate and imprison the other person's spirit, memories, and thought processes—it is a demonic eye at the True Ancestor level.

Accelerator couldn't help but feel dazed. His eyes were almost lifeless, clearly indicating that he had been affected by the demonic eye.

Arcueid smiled, as expected.

The Demon Eye, and at the True Ancestor level no less, is virtually impossible for anyone in this world to crack or resist.

That's beyond what can be achieved with simple defense or reflection. Unless you use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which are of equal or even greater power and can directly inflict death, there's probably no chance of breaking through that attack.

The ability of a person with superpowers depends on their mental state.

If one's mental state is affected, then one's abilities cannot be used successfully; this is true even for the strongest Level 5 espers in Academy City.

As long as Accelerator's mind is imprisoned and controlled, he cannot use his superpowers, and naturally, he cannot reflect them.

Although Arcueid was unaware of this, she thought that as long as she controlled the other party's mind, she could launch an attack.

Her right hand transformed into a claw. The power of the True Ancestor allowed her to easily tear apart all matter in the world; no one could withstand a single blow from the True Ancestor.

ended.

With that thought in mind, Arcueid's right hand transformed into a claw and tore down mercilessly.

...Bang.

With that crisp sound, blood splattered, and a scene too painful to watch unfolded.

Before the girl, her right hand was instantly covered in blood, and Accelerator's body collapsed. The outcome was obvious.

For the True Ancestor, this was a result that was far too simple and obvious.

It is laughable for humans to challenge the true progenitor of vampires.

"...How is that possible?"

Amidst the sounds of disbelief.

Arcueid's eyes widened.

"Why...aren't you being controlled?"

Accelerator knelt on one knee, staring at the True Ancestor with his scarlet eyes.

correct.
